Reviews mention

  • Effortless, buildable formulas
  • Compliment‑magnet signature fragrance
  • Iconic, intuitive packaging
  • Natural, seamless finishes
  • Sheer, short‑wear pigments
  • Inconsistent reformulation outcomes
  • Drying, quick‑spent mascara/brow
  • Fussy, fragile packaging

Glossier earns mixed reviews: the brand excels at effortless “no-makeup makeup” with standouts like Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, Stretch Concealer, and the Glossier You fragrance, but several users find the skincare average and some makeup too sheer to last. Reviews praise easy, finger-friendly application, flattering shades, and iconic packaging, while noting weaknesses such as reformulations (Balm Dotcom, You), limited coverage and pigment, mascara/brow products drying quickly, packaging flaws, and scent or longevity concerns with You.

  • Love Glossier! I've been using their products since the early days, and have tried a lot of their products over the years. My favorite is probably Lash Slick, the mascara. It offers length, lift, and color but is so natural looking. Other standbys include the Skin Tint and Balm Dot Com. I also just bought one of the new lip creams that I'm excited about. They also have great customer service, always very prompt and friendly, and the return policy is extremely generous. Def recommend!

  • I have been firmly set on the Glossier bandwagon since about 2015 and swear by a lot of their products (haloscope, cloud paint, future dew). However in recent months they’ve been starting to lose me because they are consistently dropping limited edition/ exclusive merch. And though it’s cute, it’s like, I can only use so many hoodies and makeup bags from the same brand. I really wish they would focus more on expanding their range on complexion products rather than launch more and more lip products.

  • I have to say that while I love the look of the whole brand, the packaging for the Cloud Paint blush makes no sense. It disperses too much most of the time and will spurt blush onto things around or your clothing.Loved the blendability back in 2018, but nowadays, there is better blush on the market. Similarly, the Boy Brow and mascara do not stand out in today's makeup market.

  • I love Glossier's packaging and whole aesthetic. Their Glossier You perfume is my favorite everyday perfume because its fragrance is very clean and light. All my friends love it as much as I do!

  • I love how simple and universal their products are. They are my go-to when it comes to a quick and easy make-up routine. I always feel like their products enhance my natural beauty, without over doing it, and it never feels like I’m wearing makeup. It’s so lightweight and breathable. I recently bought their perfume, and it’s such a beautiful scent. I also love that they are vegan and sustainable. Overall they are what I look for in a skincare and makeup brand.

  • Glossier is what I consider to be an inexpensive, luxury brand. All of their products are high quality. My favorite by far are the "balm dot coms"... They are the perfect non-sticky lip balm/oils!

  • Glossier is a phenomenal brand that can easily replace your entire makeup bag with its products. The lip balm and boy brow keep me coming back every other month but I like to try new products as well and am never let down. Highly recommend if you are not sure what to get someone for a gift

  • Love the clean beauty look, very sleek and healing. Refreshing for a world that’s focused on packing makeup in pores. Love that they can make makeup fun and still value taking care of your skin. One doesn’t have to suffer for the other! Only downside is some formulations have changed over the years which is a bummer.

  • Glossier’s Skin Tint, Boy Brow, and Cloud Paint have been in my daily rotation for years. Each of them is great for a natural “is-she-wearing-makeup?” look. Those products would get five stars but the brand gets four from me because I haven’t been thrilled with the Milky Jelly Cleanser (I found the scent a bit chemically) or the Balm Dotcom (too gritty).

  • Its light but vibrant pigments are great for beginners and experienced makeup wearers alike. I especially recommend for everyday use.

  • I love their concealer! The brand overall makes really cute products that are super appealing.

  • Their balm dotcom is one of the best lip products I’ve used! It keeps my lips hydrated all day. I love their rose scent!

  • Love the branding, packaging and marketing. I however have mixed reviews about their products. Big fan of their fragrance but their skincare and makeup are not as great compared to competitor products, especially those at lower price points.

  • A brand with good products at a great price point! I purchased the Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint in G11 a few months ago and I like it. I have generally clear skin with a little redness and don’t like the look of a heavy foundation. My only note is that it works best with a primer or it may settle into fine lines/wrinkles.

  • I haven't used all of their products but their perfume is to DIE FOR. I get compliments EVERY time I wear it and always enjoy it.

  • I have mixed reviews about the products but I do like the branding and packaging. I love the unboxing experience and the Cloud Paint and Generation G lipsticks. I don't really like the brow flick product.

  • Really great range of products = some of which have become staples in my collection. Their Cloud Paint, Boy Brow, Balm Dotcom, and Lip Gloss are my favorites. The Glossier You perfume was also great before they reformulated it, it smells very different now and not in a good way:(
